Chip Kelly will not be speaking at the NFL Combine this weekend, but the one Eagles voice that will be heard made one thing loud and clear -- Nick Foles is the guy at quarterback

"I don't want to get defensive about it, but we have tremendous support for Nick," Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said to reporters. "Even when we talk about Mike Vick and the fact that there's not an opportunity for a starting spot here for him, that's a reflection on Nick and where he is in his career."

Where he is at in the mind of Kelly, however, has been a constant question amongst fans and media members.

Even though Foles put up amazing numbers as a starter, some still believe the Eagles would prefer a quarterback who is a better athlete. That idea was backed up when Kelly originally chose Vick to start the season over Foles, despite the two being pretty equal during training camp.

When asked to clarify those comments, Roseman said he was simply trying to explain the team's draft strategy.

"Somebody asked me if the best player on our draft board was a quarterback, would we still pick him," Roseman said. "We're adamant about that philosophy of taking the best player available."

So while he still did not completely shut the door on the Eagles shocking the world and taking a quarterback in the first round, Roseman made one thing clear -- Foles is the Eagles' guy at quarterback.

"It's exciting to think he's in his second year in this league and really, one year in this system with coach Kelly, and the room for growth [he has]," Roseman said. "He has tremendous support within the building and within the organization. I'm real excited about him as a player and person in this organization."
